GMT+0
[13:32:39] meffie joins the room
[14:04:51] <meffie> good morning
[14:06:04] wiesand joins the room
[14:06:14] <wiesand> sorry
[14:08:48] <meffie> no worries.
[14:11:31] <wiesand> ok, looks like I should merge 13328 and redo the rebases?
[14:13:12] <meffie> i was just looking at that. do you want me to do the rebase? i can verify the patches are in the same order as master.
[14:14:15] <wiesand> no, i can do it, and we let buildbot do the work
[14:14:25] <meffie> ok
[14:14:31] <wiesand> (provided verification works)
[14:15:47] <wiesand> that should get us one step further
[14:16:06] <wiesand> once verified, I can then merge
[14:16:39] <wiesand> some changes could have some more review though (liek the linux 4.20 ones)
[14:17:49] <meffie> ok
[14:17:53] <wiesand> that's about it from my side today
[14:18:47] <meffie> ok thank you wiesand. i'll take a look at marks changes for 4.20 and poke the others :)
[14:19:32] <wiesand> they're not spectacular, but I always feel uneasy when merging anything with just a single +1 from the author
[14:19:50] <meffie> understood
[14:20:22] <wiesand> I think most others look pretty good (thanks to cheyenne and andrew)
[14:20:32] <meffie> great!
[14:20:37] <wiesand> but I haven't looked closesly at all fo them yet
[14:21:19] <wiesand> btw does cheyenne replace someone?
[14:22:38] <meffie> no, he is a new hire. joe is still a part time contractor
[14:23:05] <meffie> but he has been rather busy with other things recently
[14:23:35] <wiesand> yes, i noticed
[14:23:42] <meffie> sorry about that.
[14:23:50] <wiesand> and marcio and mark are still with us too?
[14:24:08] <meffie> oh yes
[14:24:15] <wiesand> great!
[14:25:01] <wiesand> anything else you'd like to discuss?
[14:26:39] <meffie> i spent more time fixing the buildbot configuration. i think i'm finally happier with it (less duplication and cruft). now i'm reaching out to people to fix some builder workers (e.g. suse)
[14:27:05] <wiesand> thanks
[14:27:15] <meffie> the master config is in github at https://github.com/openafs-contrib/afsbotcfg
[14:28:19] <wiesand> yuck, it's python ;-)
[14:28:21] <meffie> i need to post some info to the devel list and update the wiki.openafs.org
[14:28:36] <meffie> yes, the buildbot is python and the config is too :)
[14:29:08] <meffie> the linux-rc builders are bash scripts if that helps :)
[14:29:17] <wiesand> it does :)
[14:30:51] <meffie> https://github.com/meffie/virt-utils/blob/virt-run/virt-run
[14:31:16] <meffie> https://github.com/meffie/virt-utils/blob/virt-run/examples/virt-run-build.sh
[14:31:31] <wiesand> that's more to my taste, frankly
[14:32:08] <meffie> ok, i dont feel bad about shell scripting in 2018 :)
[14:33:05] <wiesand> chances are those bash scripts will still work next year, unmodified
[14:33:16] <wiesand> the python stuff… probably not
[14:33:57] <meffie> ah, yes. like the pain on converting to buildbot 1.x from buildbot 0.8
[14:35:29] <meffie> at any rate, next steps are to announce progress and then fix and add more builders.
[14:35:57] <meffie> i want to add an "rpm" builder to verify we can build rpms on all the branches.
[14:36:26] <meffie> (i think it might be broken on master).
[14:36:42] <wiesand> ok, makes sense
[14:37:08] <meffie> also, we need to generally get the --enable-checking builds working again.
[14:37:31] <wiesand> that would be very good, yes
[14:38:26] <meffie> which means some gerrits may need to be merged to fix those. the 'force' button works (with creds) so we can test build gerrits before they are merged.
[14:38:52] <meffie> (per platform)
[14:39:48] <meffie> i need to put this info in email :)
[14:40:30] <wiesand> how does one acquire those creds?
[14:40:55] <meffie> i will send you an email.
[14:41:06] <wiesand> thanks!
[14:41:29] <meffie> i've added me, you, ben, mark, and andrew so far. it's just in the settings.ini file on the host.
[14:43:08] <meffie> and it seems we can 'rebuild' gerrit builds and it will resend the +1 (if it works) to gerrit.
[14:43:17] <wiesand> nice!
[14:44:17] <meffie> sadly not for all the builders, but for single builder.
[14:44:28] <meffie> but that could be useful still.
[14:45:04] mvita joins the room
[14:45:10] mvita leaves the room
[14:45:41] <meffie> any way, that's the buildbot update.
[14:47:44] <wiesand> thanks once more
[14:48:34] <meffie> i feel a lot better now we dont have so much duplication in the master.cfg.
[14:48:53] <meffie> there's still a some cruft, but it's much better.
[14:49:30] <wiesand> good
[14:49:37] <wiesand> more tpoics for today?
[14:49:42] <wiesand> topics
[14:50:19] <meffie> i dont have any other topics.
[14:50:47] <wiesand> Let's adjourn then. Thanks a lot Mike!
[14:51:02] <meffie> thanks wiesand, have a good weekend.
[14:51:13] <wiesand> you too
